A front office employee is not only your patient’s first experience with your practice but they are also extremely vital to your revenue cycle. They are the first step in the life of a medical claim. This position is normally a simple position to recruit for and does not always require experience within the healthcare industry. Due to this, one of the largest causes of denials nationwide is due to simple keying errors caused by the front office.
The guidelines within the healthcare industry are constantly changing. All involved must continue education and stay up to date on the most recent changes nationwide. The front office normally does not work closely with the billing department and they are completely unaware of the importance of their position.
